Because of the growing demand for cremation, in 2001 Allen & Allen Funeral Home added Sunset Crematory to our offerings. Allen & Allen is the only funeral home in the area that has it's own crematory. Having our own crematory allows us to offer assurance to the families who choose cremation that we know that everything is being done in the manner that a family expects. Your loved one never leaves our care until the cremated remains are returned to you.
Cremation Options
For families choosing cremation there are many options available as to how to honor and celebrate a life. From a traditional service followed by cremation instead of burial to a non-ceremonial cremation with no type of services and many options in between. Listed below are a list of cremation options. Urns, cremation jewelry, medallions, finger print jewelry, videos along with other memorial products are available for whatever option you choose. For pricing information contact us using our contact form or call us at (229) 226-6331.
Traditional Service with Cremation
This is quickly becoming our most selected option and allows for a viewing and a ceremony before cremation. The deceased would be prepared for a viewing or visitation, placed in a cremation casket and would conclude with a service at any location. This option gives families the most options for remembering a life. Spoken words by family, friends, ministers, along with favorite music provides families with the most ideal way to begin the grief process.
Visitation with Cremation to Follow
This option allows for family and friends to gather, remember, and see the loved one before the cremation is performed. Support from friends is a very helpful way to begin the grief process.
Family Viewing followed by Cremation
This allows for immediate family to have a final time to remember and say goodbye before cremation.
Memorial Service After Cremation
After cremation is performed, a memorial service would follow giving family and friends the opportunity to remember and celebrate a life well lived. The cremated remains are placed in an urn and be present at the service with other personal items.
Non-Ceremonial Cremation
This is cremation without any type of viewing or services.
